Pros

A fairly recent change in the CEO last year offers progress and hope for this company. During company meetings, he's mentioned that he wants to offer employees more autonomy, and has already put some systems in place that offer more flexibility, including casual Fridays, allowing food/drinks at desks, and flexible hours. Health benefits as well as other benefits (LTC, STC, 401K, etc.) are reasonable, and vacation time is standard. All of the Cons aside, the products and services CryoLife provides are amazing and one-of-a-kind, and the fact that the organization helps and saves lives every day is incredibly satisfying.

Cons

The day-to-day systems and processes are inefficient and still need a lot of work. Projects take weeks when they should take days. Most of the company is still operating in silos, and many times departments have no idea what others are working on, especially when they're supposed to be collaborating on specific projects.

Pros

CryoLife has been around for over 30 years. This is a "pro" because it shows that the company is intent on being stable and has projected plans on how to serve people by improving and possibly saving lives of patients needing specialized cardiac care. As a company, CryoLife strives to keep talented employees and encourages innovation all while maintaining a watchful eye on regulations and other compliance needs to ensure public safety. Working at CryoLife is very often referred to as having a family atmosphere where quite a few employees have worked together for many years, yet new employees are easily welcomed into the organization.

Cons

CryoLife has been around for over 30 years. This is also a "con" because companies can be entrenched in "this is how we have always done it." There is, at minimum, a three-pronged approach to update how CryoLife does business. First, all employees, including management, are involved in process improvement. Second, they are also ensuring that the company has effective and innovative products to offer doctors to help treat their cardiac patients. Third and this is very important, everyone, including the CEO, takes improving employee engagement as a critical part of further elevating CryoLife as a leader in the biotech industry. CryoLife is aware that a company is as strong as is employees and is dedicated to providing resources to help to strengthen its employees.
